3.1.4.5 Encoder Configuration
3.1.4.5.1 Parameter description
3.1.4.5.1.1 Function
Each encoder can have one of these functions: Commutation, Velocity or position.
It is of vital importance to have exactly one encoder configured for Commutation so that the motor shaft’s
position is known to the commutation algorithm. In case your setup requires it, you can use a different
encoder for Position or Velocity. In this case, the demanded and actual velocities will be scaled to the same
reference frame of the position.
3.1.4.5.1.2 Resolution
For correct function it is necessary to provide the resolution of the encoder, this value is given in
Inc/Revolution, please refer to your encoder’s data sheet.
Important
Please keep in mind that manufacturers sometimes give this specification in differing units. If the
resolution according to your data sheet is not given in Inc/Revolution, please convert the value.
3.1.4.5.1.3 Zero velocity threshold
Time without a position change in which the velocity is assumed to be zero. After this time, the velocity value
is set to 0 if no new position was received from the encoder. The default value is 5000 µs.
